Dental Implants

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants, crafted from titanium, serve as artificial tooth roots surgically implanted into the jawbone. They offer a sturdy base for replacement teeth like crowns, bridges, or dentures, mimicking the natural teeth in both function and aesthetics. This provides a durable solution for tooth loss in the long run.

The Benefits Of Restoring Your Smile With Dental Implants

• Improved appearance: Dental implants look and feel natural.
  Enhanced comfort: By integrating with your jawbone, implants eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures.
• Easier eating: Enjoy your favorite foods without worry; implants function like natural teeth.
  Improved oral health: Dental implants do not compromise other teeth, as tooth-supported bridges do.
• Durability: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
• Convenience: No need for messy adhesives to keep dentures in place.

The Treatment Process & Recovery

1. Consultation: During your initial consultation, Dr. Schulert will assess your oral health and determine if dental implants are right for you.
2. Implant placement: The dental implant is surgically placed into the jawbone.
3. Healing: After a few months, the implant fuses with the jawbone, a process called osseointegration.
4. Abutment placement: Once healed, an abutment is attached to the implant to hold the replacement tooth.
5. Placement of replacement tooth: Finally, a custom-made restoration is attached to the abutment, completing the restoration.

Types Of Dental Implants

At Jupiter Advanced Dentistry, we offer a variety of dental implant solutions tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient. Whether you need to replace a single tooth or multiple teeth, our advanced implant options provide stability, durability, and a natural look and feel.

Single Tooth Implants

Single tooth implants are perfect for patients who are missing one tooth. This solution involves placing a single implant into the jawbone to support a crown, which looks and functions like a natural tooth. Benefits include:

• Natural appearance: Custom-made crowns match your existing teeth in color and shape.
• Bone preservation: Prevents bone loss in the jaw by stimulating the bone tissue.
• Protect adjacent teeth: Does not require alteration of neighboring teeth, preserving their health and integrity.

Implant-Supported Bridges

Implant-supported bridges offer a superior solution for patients with multiple missing teeth in a row. Unlike conventional bridges that depend on neighboring teeth for support, implant-supported bridges are secured by implants, offering numerous advantages:

• Enhanced stability: Implants provide a solid foundation, preventing the bridge from shifting.
• Bone health: Implants stimulate the jawbone, reducing bone loss.
• Longevity: Implant-supported bridges typically last longer than traditional bridges and provide better functionality.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures offer a secure and comfortable alternative to traditional removable dentures. They are especially beneficial for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth. Benefits include:

• Improved stability: Implants anchor the dentures firmly in place, eliminating the need for adhesives.
• Comfort and function: Enhances chewing ability and comfort, making it easier to eat a variety of foods.
• Bone preservation: Helps maintain jawbone structure and prevent bone loss.
